What impressed me enormously was the auto-install helpfulness, even back
in an older vim version. Without first installing any dictionaries, I set
vim for Danish spellchecking:
:set spell spelllang=da
To which vim responded:
»
Shall I create /home/erik/.vim/spell
# Answered y <CR>
Cannot find spell file for "da" in utf-8
Do you want me to try downloading it?
# Answered y <CR>
Downloading da.utf-8.spl...
:!curl 'http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/da.utf-8.spl' -o
'/tmp/v5STjcI/0.spl'
In which directory do you want to write the file:
1. /home/erik/.vim/spell
[C]ancel, (1): 1
"~/.vim/spell/da.utf-8.spl" [New] 2217L, 895285C written
Do you want me to try getting the .sug file?
This will improve making suggestions for spelling mistakes,
but it uses quite a bit of memory.

That is some in-built spell checking system!
Now I just have to find out how to invoke the spelling suggestions.
(After resorting to a helpgrep, I've waded through enough of the hits to
stumble across spellsuggest(), but I need command-line functionality,
not a scripting function.)
Oh well, trial and error works well enough, since it's usually the
endings or glue letter in compounds which trip me up.
